I have gained so much help, insight and relief from the phone coaching, the downloads and the articles. Because of what I learned from Parenting Power, I’m now ready to cancel my membership because I haven’t needed it for a while. Thank you Parenting Power."

I felt upset, disappointed, and embarrassed. Nobody had prepared me as a Mom to deal with situations when my child is getting in trouble at school. He is away from me all day (grade 1), how was I supposed to control his behavior? After talking to Parenting Power, I felt relieved, and able to put things into perspective, and could start to solve the behavior issue. It was helpful because now I have developed and followed through with a plan that has been effective.

"I sought out Parenting Power to help me find a better way to parent and to help take away the frustration and constant anger that I was having daily with my boys. What I didn’t realize was how my current parenting style was going to be affecting them into their adult lives. That realization has given me so much more reason to become a better role model and teacher for my boys. It really is more important for me to raise these boys to be respectful, confident and responsible adults. I feel that through the tools that you have taught me that I can obtain this outcome.”
